About

Tudor houses, Georgian homes, village pond and mediaeval church set on the green. This is the picture postcard village of Ditchling. It sits in the lea of Ditchling Beacon and has been home to artists, including Eric Gill, who were inspired by the surrounding countryside. Raymond Briggs' illustrations are taken from the countryside around Ditchling. Dame Vera Lynn, the forces sweetheart, made her home here. Ditchling is a bustling village with many shops and two garden centres.
